Highlights of Sunday's National Football League games

(The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Sunday's National Football League games: Saints 34 Redskins 31 (overtime) Wil Lutz kicked a 28-yard field in overtime, climaxing a furious fourth-quarter rally from a 15-point deficit with 5:58 remaining, to lift New Orleans to its eighth consecutive victory. The Saints (8-2) trailed Washington 31-16 when Kirk Cousins completed a seven-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jeremy Sprinkle. But Drew Brees led back-to-back touchdown drives of 75 and 83 yards, throwing three yards to tight end Josh Hill and 18 yards to rookie running back Alvin Kamara for touchdowns to draw the Saints within 31-29 with 1:05 left. Kamara then converted the tying two-point conversion by taking a pitch around left end. The Redskins (4-6) in the closing seconds, moved to a first down at the New Orleans 34 -- within range of a potential game-winning field goal -- but Cousins was flagged for intentional grounding on first down, moving Washington out of field-goal range. - - - Ravens 23, Packers 0 Baltimore's defense bent, but never got close to breaking in shutting out Green Bay. It was the first time the Packers were held scoreless since 2006, when they were blanked by the Bears and Patriots in head coach Mike McCarthy's first season. The Ravens (5-5) started the game by forcing three consecutive turnovers. In the second half, they got a pair of fourth-down stops and forced two more turnovers. Packers quarterback Brett Hundley, starting his fourth game in place of Aaron Rodgers, was intercepted three times and fumbled once as Green Bay fell to 5-5. Quarterback Joe Flacco turned in one of his better performances for Baltimore, going 22-of-28 passing for 183 yards with one touchdown and one interception. - - - Vikings 24, Rams 7 Latavius Murray ran for 95 yards and two touchdowns and Minnesota's defense held down Los Angeles' top-scoring offense. Case Keenum was 27-of-38 passing for 280 yards and a touchdown, and Adam Thielen added six catches for 123 yards and a 65-yard touchdown reception for Minnesota (8-2). Rams running back Todd Gurley had five carries for 20 yards and a touchdown on the first possession of the game, but was held to 17 yards on 10 carries the rest of the way. Los Angeles (7-3) was 3 of 11 on third down. - - - Giants 12, Chiefs 9 (overtime) Aldrick Rosas delivered the game-winning 23-yard field goal to give New York the overtime victory over Kansas City (6-4). The Giants (2-8) snapped a three-game losing streak in their first home win of the season. New York's winning drive was set up thanks to a 36-yard reception by receiver Roger Lewis, who also drew a pass interference penalty on Chiefs cornerback Phillip Gaines before Rosas' game-winning field goal. - - - Jaguars 19, Browns 7 Jacksonville running back Leonard Fournette slugged his way to 111 rushing yards and the Jaguars defense played tough as usual to beat winless Cleveland and take over sole possession of first place in the AFC South. The Browns harassed Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles throughout and the game, and the Jaguars (7-3) did the same to quarterback DeShone Kizer of the Browns (0-10). - - - Lions 27, Bears 24 Matthew Stafford completed 21 of 31 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns, and Detroit outlasted Chicago. A go-ahead, 52-yard field goal by kicker Matt Prater with 1:35 remaining proved to be the difference for the Lions(6-4) who won their third consecutive game. Bears running back Jordan Howard rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown in the loss. A late comeback bid fell short as kicker Connor Barth missed a 46-yard field-goal attempt with three seconds to go as Chicago (3-7) dropped its third game in a row. - - - Texans 31, Cardinals 21 Jadeveon Clowney led a timely defensive stand and Houston overcame two first-half turnovers to defeat visiting Arizona. Clowney was a menace throughout, but his fourth-down gap-stuffing on Cardinals running back Adrian Peterson midway through the fourth quarter resulted in a turnover on downs and enabled the Texans (4-6) to seize control on the ensuing snap when rookie running back D'Onta Foreman dashed 34 yards for a touchdown and a two-score lead with 6:19 remaining. The Cardinals (4-6) dropped consecutive games for the first time this season despite third-string quarterback Blaine Gabbert's three touchdown passes. - - - Buccaneers 30, Dolphins 20 Patrick Murray drilled a 35-yard field goal with seven seconds left and Tampa Bay defeated Miami. The Dolphins (4-6) attempted two laterals and a handoff on the kickoff after Murray's field goal. Tampa Bay's Adarius Glanton recovered a fumble on the handoff in the end zone for the final margin for the Bucs (4-6). (Editing by Gene Cherry)
